Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 526

Chapter 526: 288 Hearing the News (Second Release)_2

The people who dug out the Crystal Cores didn’t dare to keep them. Although they had killed zombies too, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye had saved their lives, so these Crystal Cores could be considered repayment.

However, Fang Yuxin didn’t accept their "repayment", as it was only dozens of Crystal Cores which she didn’t even value. After distributing the deserved Crystal Cores to them, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye began to inquire about the situation in Beishi City from these people.

Although Bai Ye was a Beishi person, he hadn’t been back for a long time, and he was completely unaware of the current situation in Beishi. Now that they had encountered people, it was good to gather some information before entering the Safe Zone.

These people thought they had just arrived in Beishi; such occurrences weren’t unheard of, but they were rare, and almost all those who made it here belonged to larger groups. Small groups like Bai Ye’s had not been seen before.

The man who spoke up was a Level 1 Middle Stage male Fire Element Superpower User named Wan Lin. He briefly explained the situation in Beishi, focusing mainly on the rules within the Beishi Base, so Bai Ye and the others wouldn’t go in blind and accidentally break any taboos.

Their small group wasn’t a Mercenary Team, but a Corpse Hunting Team, which took on the righteous task of hunting zombies. Because of the large scale of the Beishi Base, it was different from other bases - with many rules and very good order. Establishing a Mercenary Team was difficult, and such teams often had many restrictive rules that left little freedom. Except for the Advanced superpower users, many people from lower tiers preferred to form independent Corpse Hunting Teams to hunt zombies.

This was riskier, but it was better than joining Mercenary Teams where others controlled their lives and they never knew when they might become cannon fodder. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

However, many of the rules in the Beishi Base were quite similar to other Safe Zones, such as the requirement for Mercenary Teams to accept missions to hunt zombies daily. And as Mercenary Teams rose in rank, they had to complete more tasks, which implied that with greater power came greater responsibility.

Despite the heavy burden of these tasks, the rewards were also rich.

In the Beishi Base, there was also a system of Contribution Value; the more complex and numerous the missions completed, the greater the Contribution Value earned. This value was used to measure a Mercenary Team’s status in the Safe Zone and the perks they could enjoy, such as discounts when shopping, the distribution of materials, and the shops that Mercenary Teams could own.

Beishi was a large city with a large population. The amount of food and water needed by so many people was not insignificant. It wasn’t possible to rely solely on the power of one faction; every available resource had to be utilized.

Thus, the Base had established numerous farms, breeding grounds, and factories. Of course, due to tight electricity supplies, these "factories" were essentially workshops aimed at producing food that could stave off hunger.
